How Big Of A Difference Can Stress Make.

[hollow11]

I've noticed my hair going much thinner during my exams (engineering uni), over 2 or 3 months. Now that I've passed all of them though, i've noticed my hair becoming thicker, although I cut it shorter, even when soaking wet. I didn't believe people saying it's just stress and it will eventually grow back, but they were right. What's your opinion on the damage stress can do to ones hair?

Stress affects hormones, and hormones affects hair and skin and mood. This is at least the eastern medical view. So yes, of course it does. Otherwise there wont be as stress based hair loss from truama victims.
